As the match moved to singles, the Chants showed some fight as Libby Scott at No. 1 and Alicia Robinson at No. 3 took their matches to third sets against Angie Sekely and Christina Riley, respectively. Sekely and Riley would go on to take those two points for UNCW, and the Seahawks would claim the four remaining singles points as well.

"Wilmington has a talented and feisty team," said Coastal head coach Catherine Hewitt after the match. "We had our chances in many of the matches, especially the two third-set breakers. We've got plenty of work to do in practice, and this team is motivated to get back out there and improve."

The Chants will return to action Sunday, Feb. 17 as they host back-to-back matches against Coker and North Carolina A&T. The first match begins at 10 a.m. followed by the second at 2:30 p.m.
